Personally I'd like high brightness RGB LEDs on the underside and top of
each corner.
In practice, one on the front and one on the back would just about do.
Multicolour would be very nice.
I would trade this all away for a thumbstick, especially a proportional one.
I have in other places raised the idea of a tiny backlit spot on the
display.
This is an extra LED, separate from the normal backlight, that lights up
a patch 10mm*10mm or so.
